Hey bud, thanks for the comment! VB was great, especially its exposed upper reaches (gotta love that ~4' step over the gap). We actually managed to get offroute into 5.10+ terrain early on, and after messing around there for close to 3 hours backtracked, found the route and finished the job. I can't wait to give Sun Ribbon Arete a try. When are you coming back to our neck of the woods? We should hang out
